Queensland Mint is proud to present the 1oz 'Get Your Kicks on Route 66' Silver Round.
The Route 66 round takes inspiration from one of the most famous roads in the United States, originally covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km) and still having over 80% of the original highway accessible currently. 66 served as a primary route for those who migrated west and boosted economies of the communities through which it passed
Round Highlights:
- Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
- Multiples of 20 will come in a plastic tube.
- Obverse: Iconic Route 66 road sign with the abbreviations of the states the highway traveled through to the left. The dots around the perimeter of the shield and within the numbers are representative of the glass cateye reflectors used to illuminate the original signs during nighttime driving.
- Reverse: Route 66 road sign with the traditional phrase "Get Your Kicks" and the weight and fineness surrounding. Segmented lines around the edge represent the road dividing lines used to separate lanes on the highway.
The obverse features the iconic ‘Route 66’ sign, dotted to represent the glass reflectors used to illuminate the signs at night. The coin also displays eight abbreviated states that the highway originally travelled through: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
The reverse shows the ‘Route 66’ sign alongside the phrase “Get Your Kicks”, in addition to a description of the weight and fineness. The segmented line border mirrors the dividing lines on the highway.
